oh my. you’d think before I go pulling boxes out of closets, loading up VHS tapes, and banging the VCR remote over and over again to get that last bit of life out of the batteries, I might check a previous post (How he got the story) to see if I already have an answer to the question of where have we heard that dang song! (the non-porno version – They Lied to Me). But nooooooooo! So, while I was at it, figured recording/converting to digital (and posting the full 20-minute short film) was in order, and you can see how long you can last with that dang song playing before you turn the sound off!
How I Got The Story
NOVA Films, How I Got The Story, starring Michael Christopher and Beau Matthews
WOW! I guess I just never looked that close, but this magazine/Nova Film Politics Be Damned has a political activist canvassing against the John Briggs Initiative (AKA the notorious Proposition Six in California in 1978), when (cue the porno music…) Lee Marlin turns away and activist Eric Brothers reaches out and ….oops! his towel falls off! You’ll never guess what happens next!
I just nabbed this VHS from eBay for a good price, even though I am supposed to be thinning my collection, not expanding it. A quick pop in the video player to see if it’s in good shape, and oh – “what’s that music?” Taking a suggestion from a reader, I clicked on Shazam on my phone….
i fast-forward, hit play, click Shazam again, and…. over and over, NO RESULT – TRY AGAIN… then I get to the Lance clip and the very familiar “Make Love To Me”… and….nada! so it must be some William Higgins / Costello Presley concoction/creation? (who’s doing the Costello Presley documentary?)

P.S. – at some point, and I got so frustrated I don’t remember where, it i.d’d Keep On by Touch.
